This blog post came to mind when I made sugar cookies a few days ago. I wanted to share with you my all-time favorite sugar cookie recipe. These cookies are perfect for decorating (especially with royal icing or buttercream) and only take one bowl to make! Here is a picture of how mine came out:
(I ended up using cookie cutters and shaped them. I also frosted them with buttercream 😋)
Ingredients:
- 2 cups Domino® Granulated Sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup shortening
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons for sprinkling Domino® Granulated Sugar (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Line 2 half sheet pans with parchment paper.
In a large bowl of an electric mixer beat sugar, butter, and shortening at medium speed for 2 minutes. Add baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Beat mixture until combined. Beat in egg and vanilla. Add flour and mix until combined.
Using a small ice-cream scoop, drop dough onto lined sheet pans. Flatten slightly with hand. Sprinkle the additional 2 tablespoons of sugar on top of the cookies (optional). Bake for 8 minutes. Let cookies rest for 5 minutes. Remove from cooking sheets to cooling racks.
